Jaleel White, currently one of the celebrities competing on "Dancing With the Stars," says a court ordeer prevents him from publicly refuting in detail statements from the mother of his daughter alleging physical and verbal abuse in 2010, but suspects she is bringing up the claims because of his recent TV success.

Bridget Hardy told Star Magazine this week that on one occasion White "hit me across the chest area." She also says he "pushed me into the toilet, and it broke."

White, who is best known for his portrayal of Urkel on 1990s show "Family Matters," told PeopleMagazine the allegations were made in a police report linked to a child custody dispute. He said he was not questioned by authorities and no charges were filed.

Hardy said she didn't want charges to be filed.

"As much as I would love to go for detail refuting Ms. Hardy's claims about the specifics of what was our relationship, the family court judge made it very clear to me any public discussion of our case and ordeal would be held against me in a court of law," White told People magazine in a statement.

"The allegations made against me back in 2010 have suspiciously resurfaced in time to coincide with my new show on Syfy and Dancing With The Stars," he said. "Bridget Hardy has consistently show a knack for timing throughout our child custody disputes."

"I guess my most recent successes have been too much for her to stomach," he added. "I'm assuming I have not received her votes these past Monday nights."
